The influence and interest of the United States in the islands must be increased and not diminished.
I transmit herewith the fifth special report of the Commissioner of Labor.
The correspondence which accompanies the treaty will put the Senate in possession of all the facts known to the Executive.
If it meets the approval of the Senate, peace and good order will be secured in the islands under existing laws until such time as Congress can provide by legislation a permanent from of government for the islands.
